Err...This depends on what you're using to make the PDF files. Cygnus creates
TeX, then PS, then PDF. TeX doesn't like JPEG all that much, so you have to
use .eps (at least, this is what most of an afternoon has taught me). Jade
also uses TeX to create PS.
The LDP uses another tool (html2ps?) to generate the PDF, skipping the TeX
part altogether.
If the LDP (hey powers-that-be) wants to support TeX as an output format,
then you'll need to provide both .eps and .jpg files. At least this was
the answer to my question on graphics formats.
If we don't want to support TeX, then I'll go ahead and document the alternate
PDF tool and advise authors to not use jade or db2pdf to create PDF files.
Maybe I'll document the html2ps anyway....
